Ingredients

The following ingredients have 12 Servings
  • 1 medium potato, cut into ½-inch dice (2 cups)
  • 1 medium onion, cut into ¼-inch dice (2 cups)
  • 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced (1 teaspoon)
  • 1 (15-ounce) can diced tomatoes with their juice (1½ cups)
  • 1 (14-ounce) can water-packed jackfruit, drained and rinsed (1½ cups)
  • 3 tablespoons taco seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon minced chipotle in adobo sauce
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 12 corn tortillas
  • 2 cups shredded lettuce
  • 1 medium tomato, cut into ½-inch dice (1 cup)
  • 2 stalks scallions, thinly sliced (1/2 cup)
  • 1 avocado, cut into ¾-inch dice

Instruction

  • In a skillet over medium-low heat, sauté the potatoes, onions, and garlic in ¼ cup water for 10 minutes or until the onions are tender.
  • Add the diced tomatoes, jackfruit, taco seasoning, paprika, and chipotle in adobo sauce, and continue cooking for 10 minutes until the juice from the tomatoes is absorbed.
  • Using the back of the spatula, break the jackfruit into smaller pieces. Stir in the cilantro and lemon juice.
  • Place half of the tortillas in a stack on a heated non-stick skillet. Cook each side of the stack on medium-low heat, for 4 to 5 minutes,  or until the tortillas in the middle are heated through. Wrap warmed tortillas in a damp cloth to keep warm. Repeat with remaining tortillas. (Alternatively, wrap tortillas in a big piece of aluminum foil lined with damp paper towels, and warm in a 350°F oven for 5 to 10 minutes.)
  • To assemble the tacos, place the filling in the center of each, and top with the lettuce, tomatoes, scallions, and avocado, and serve immediately.
